About this listen

A chilling thriller set in the Australian Outback, from the pen of the world's best-selling writer, James Patterson, and cowritten with award-winning crime writer Candice Fox.

The Australian Outback is the perfect hunting ground....

Detective Harriet Blue needs to get out of town fast. With her brother under arrest for a series of brutal murders in Sydney, Harry's chief wants the hotheaded detective kept far from the press. So he assigns her a deadly new case - in the middle of the Outback.

Deep in the Western Australian desert, three young people have disappeared from the Bandya Mine. And it's Harry's job to track them down. But still reeling from events back home, and with a secretive new partner at her side, Harry's not sure who she can trust anymore. And in this unforgiving land, she has no idea how close she is to a whole new kind of danger.

Good, but...

A good rolling story, but a few strange things 1) the narrator sounded like an English person putting on a fake Aussie accent. 2) weird use of some Americanisms like "hood" of a car and -cringe! - "dove" instead of dived. 3) The MOST drug free places in Australia are mine sites!

Job for the 'Mystery wagon'

Started out good, but limited to a desert mine camp. You are given 4 or 5 suspects, and it is one of them. A bit like a Scooby Doo mystery. The main character is very good.

Aussie Colloquialisms!

I love that an Aussie accent was used in this narration. But, one word was mispronounced constantly and it became irritating. Donga- It’s not a don-guh … it’s a dong-a!
I enjoyed the story, but I did work out who the killer was about half way into the events.

Suspenseful

Great listening. The plot was well written and a surprise at the end. The narrator also made the story easy listening.

Not worth reading

Very disappointing story line. Hard to believe Patterson wrote it. So far I’ve returned to beginning twice as it’s so disengaging I’ve no idea what had happened.

Non existent plot twists
